That’s because child abuse images are objective while “neonazis” are not.

Regarding the “different private company”. Some of your people are already trying to deplatform Telegram now, because those “neonazis” went there after they were banned everywhere else.

I have been using this platform to connect with my family for years and now all of a sudden my family and I are supporters of the “neonazi” movement somehow, because of how broad the definition of “neonazi” is, for the American left wing activists.

Maybe you are okay with the collateral damage “for the greater good” but I am not willing to make this sacrifice to satisfy the American left-wingers and their witch hunt. I sympathize with the idea, but no, thank you. Please, think of another solution for your problems.

Maybe, just maybe, you need to somehow use the law system of your country to stop them criminals? Or, in case they don’t do anything illegal (I’m not implying that they don’t, I’ve no idea) - maybe you just leave them be until they do something illegal? And then like catch them and stuff? And leave me my Telegram to call my mum every evening?

Or - wow, even crazier idea - you do not ban them at all, but instead of that you follow their threads and actually prevent them from doing anything illegal when they starting to discuss it? My guess it would be much easier to do when you have this kind of transparency.

I understand it’s not that easy as massive bans of everything that moves in a slightly different direction than yours, but this would probably be the right way. Thanks in advance.

You need to set the right expectations from the start and educate your clients about your process and how you deliver. I know it gets better with experience but you absolutely always must have some high level estimates from your end that client should agree with upfront.

Few tips:

- "Give you tight deadlines". Doesn't work that way. YOU are the one who will give them an estimate and a timeline based on their requirements. Sorry but don't get forced into delivering something quick because you want to please the client. You will always lose. Never agree to an aggressive timeline. Whatever you think is reasonable, multiply by 3 before agreeing with the client.

- Tell the client that timelines can shift if they change scope. Some things just take time.

- Remember that some people just have the habit of making everything urgent. In many cases, they don't really mean it. But it depends on the person. If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. Challenge them on it if needed.

- Always under promise and over deliver if possible. It is better to say "3 months for this project" and deliver in "2.5 months" than "Yes I can finish in 3 weeks" and then you are nowhere near it in 3 weeks.

- If client keeps asking to deliver quickly, remind them of the timeline that was agreed mutually.

- At the end of the day, it is 1 client. If they are becoming a nuisance, drop them. Beauty of freelance and being your own boss. Don't let a client boss you around. Find another one.

Airbyte addresses two pains of data engineers:

- managing data integration pipelines on behalf of less technical profiles

Because Airtybe is UI/API based, we can offer a great experience to less technical profiles so that they can become independent and leverage data in the most efficient way.

I agree. Also, here are two things I find not great with OO style apis:

1. Functions with two arguments of your type (or operators). Maybe I want to do Rational.(a + b), or Int.gcd x y, or Set.union s t. In a Java style api I think it looks ugly to write a.add(b) or whatever.

2. Mutability can be hidden. If you see a method of an object that returns a value of the same type, you can’t really know whether it is returning a new value of the same type or if it is mutating the type but returning itself to offer you a convenient chaining api. With modules there isn’t so much point in chaining so that case may be more easily hidden.
.io are indeed "expensive", but to add one datapoint to your question: there's a concept/genre called "io games", mostly involving browser-based multiplayer games like this one (e.g. Agar.io, Krunker.io, and many others. a quick search leads to several lists of those; some of them don't use an .io domain, but lots of them do).
That's probably another reason why, besides the "cool factor"?
What is stopping Melvin Capital from lying about closing their position in order to deflate the stock price so they can actually close out their short position when they are due this coming Friday?
I think increased employment would have a negative effect on the road to that more perfect world by masking the underlying issues.

Pursuing increased employment as the goal distracts from the real changes that have to be made in order to facilitate those social safety nets, since these inevitably require raising taxes in order to fund them.

The efficacy of job creation through tax cuts is also a matter of debate. This article[1] (which appears fairly well sourced) seems to imply that the expansion of unemployment benefits is at least as effective as cutting corporate taxes and potentially more so when taxes are already low.

So basically like almost every other trade? Every buyer needs a seller and vice versa.

If you're active in the market, why do you think you're right on any particular trade and the person on the other end is wrong?†

* If you're buying, why is the other person selling? What does he know that you don't?

* If you're selling, why is the other person buying? What does he know that you don't?

The 'safe bet' is to go with index funds (US: S&P 500, Russell 3000) and simply get market returns for the equity portion of your portfolio.

† They could be selling for "correct" reasons: to rebalance their portfolio, to generate income (e.g., in retirement), etc. They may not think there's anything material to the company in the trade, they may simply need cash.

You could end up with a brain infection, very easily.

If you cannot afford US dental care, and you are not super poor, get a 1 way ticket via Kiwi.com to a more “eastern” European Union country like Croatia or Poland. If you use scripts from GitHub or are very good at searching you can get such tickets for $200-$250. You can find extremely excellent dentists with great qualifications and reviews in countries like that, and many have amazing reviews and are super cheap.

A lot of people from EU countries, that do not have “socialized dental care” go to countries like that a couple times a year to get dental care.

It ruffles my feathers when I read that we should "combat institutional gambling via trading and not allow retail investors to gamble." Who died and made the author a moral decision-maker?

Is the problem that gambling is a 'sin' or is the problem that we're TRULY worried about people losing all their money and we want to protect them from themselves?

Do you want to put them in prison when they bet money on fantasy football or a poor person spends their paychecks on lottery tickets?

You will see a lot of people using the (expensive) ER to treat their health issues. The reason they are there in the first place is that they couldn't pay for preventative care, so naturally they can't pay for the ER either. As a society when someone who can't pay ends up in the ER we have two options: treat them anyways, or turn them away.
> "Yeah, the recent cannonball run in a Taycan (Search Out of Spec Motoring if you want to see the details) had some similar issues."

However, despite those issues, they were still able set the electric cannonball record in the Taycan, beating the previous record (set by the same guys in a Tesla Model 3) by nearly an hour!

That's because the Taycan charges much faster on EA's 350 kW chargers than a Tesla does on a typical Tesla supercharger. (It might be a different story if Tesla had more of the new faster "V3" superchargers, but there are only a few of those on the Cannonball route).

Questions about tests. I have found consistently that when an interviewer does not know what the test coverage of their codebase is, more likely than not they don't care about such trivialities.

I was one of the first if not the first people to post weekly options yolo on WSB that gained traction years ago, I get a bit more into it in other posts.

Most of these top firms have a specific pipelines from top ivy schools, they are very very selective for a specific person usually from an upper class upbringing.

I think Chamath has a point in that there's a lot more people capable of understanding the dynamics of options than are given credit for.

There still seems to exist this hubris in wall street that unless you went to those top schools you aren't capable of understanding derivatives and most of those institutions won't even interview you for a position if your CV isn't prestigious enough. Yet time and time again you see these funds blow up.

That being said its amusing how people just ran with the caricature of a fresh out of high school, blue collar upbringing, degenerate CBOE options pit trader who you would find smoking weed during trading hours and coked out pounding drinks at Ceres after hours with an autistic antisocial 4chan twist(heard stories from people who knew floor traders like this).

It seems like a lot of the professionals can't see past the tongue in cheek self deprecating humor to realize its an act that people play up.
Gab has not updated Dissenter in 10 months (Windows and Linux) or more than 13 months (macOS).

That's true, but the people I talk to on Whatsapp are not (usually) in the same country as me, and cross-border SMS tends to not be included in a basic package. Especially now that UK has left the EU, that's definitely not going to be cheap.

To pull the centre of weight to the bottom, typically overboard space is used only for empty containers in cargo ships. Otherwise it is very very challenging to keep the vessel stable. Actually mostly impossible.

You might ask why they even carry empty containers, it is because not every loaded container goes back to its source location with other type of goods and cargo ships should always carry empty containers to solve one of the most challenging problems of the industry, which is called „empty container repositioning“. Cargo traffic across different locations of the world is not perfectly balanced. So, for example Chinese should get some empty containers back to load them back and send to Western world :)

To me, the overarching topic here is trust. Who do you trust with you private stuff?

On the left corner, Whatsapp. Owned by a company who has been caught red-handed with plenty of shady stuff. From accepting money to manipulate democracies, to exploiting the human brain (young and old) to catapult their product FB is a live testament of what being a greedy, evil corporation really means.

On right corner, Telegram. As far as I know, they have been caught in zero shady enterprises. Their discourse seem a bit cocky and preachy, but honestly I couldn't agree more with their principles and their responses to criticism seem logic.

My choice is Telegram, thank you very much!

There is still Signal, but less than a quarter of my contacts are there. To me it smells a bit of G+... great idea and features, but low adoption which makes the product irrelevant.
And then even fewer people would use it.

You can always mutate objects using functions that return new objects.

If you use methods of an instance you know the object's state may or may not change. If you set attributes, you know for sure they changed. If you use a function that returns a new objects you know you paid the object allocation tax.

But my interpretation would be to condition on charges.charge_dt

There is 1 company, that company has 1 stock. Alice is the shorter and expects the stock to drop.

* How shorting works normally:

Alice thinks the price will lower this week. On Monday, Alice borrows a stock from Bob. She sells that stock immediately on Monday. On Friday at the end of that week, she buys a stock again and hands it back to Bob, plus a small fee for his troubles. If the stock price went down during the week, you can see that Alice made a profit.

* What happened for Gamestop:

Melvin thinks the price will lower this year. Melvin borrows a stock from Rudy. Melvin sells that stock, and unbeknown to him he sells it back to Rudy. Melvin borrows another stock from Rudy which unbeknown to him he sells again to Rudy. While there exists only 1 stock, Rudy now has 3 stocks of which he borrowed 2 to Melvin. Melvin owes Rudy 200% of all available stock, which he needs to hand back at the end of the year.

* What is the short squeeze Rudy/Reddit is currently doing on Melvin Capital?

Well, in reality, Melvin Capital has 1.5 stocks borrowed for every stock in existence (I'm not sure how much of the total stock was actually liquid, so I'm not sure how many rounds Melvin needs to go through to cover all their shorts).

Today it is the end of the year. Melvin needs to hand Rudy back the stock. However, the only person he could buy it from, is Rudy himself. Now Rudy is free to set an arbitrary price for his stock AND meanwhile buy up all other available stock at ridiculous prices. The only stock Melvin can buy, is from Rudy, or from other people at at least Rudy's price point. And Melvin needs to buy that stock to then hand it back to Rudy, after which Rudy can sell it yet again at an even higher price point for Melvin to hand it back again. Rudy makes a lot of profit, by squeezing out Melvin after making the market illiquid and overpriced. Effectively, the game is such that the entire capital of Melvin is now for Rudy. Melvin must buy something from Rudy, no matter how high Rudy sets his price.

An alternative is for Melvin to borrow another stock from Rudy, handing it back to cover for the last borrow. However, this way Melvin is only digging himself into an even deeper hole stacking up fees (the fee Melvin pays for Rudy's troubles is currently at a 130% interest rate).

* What is on the line?

Melvin Capital is 3 billion. The question is how much Reddit is Rudy, how much stock Reddit managed to control. If Reddit manages the squeeze, the squeezers will basically share among each other 3 billion. If Reddit does not manage, a lot of people will hold a lot of Gamestop stock at probably way lower prices than they bought.

Melvin Capital appears to have received a capital injection of 3 billion from Citadel today, doubling the stakes in an all or nothing with Reddit. So wallstreetbets is now standing to either gain 6 billion or losing a lot of money. Which sounds big to us, but is probably just another Wednesday for wallstreetbets...
